About Rentals

Please look at the Rental Categories page and select which type is appropriate for your use. Your request should be submitted at least thirty (30) working days before the date of the event. Your event request will be reviewed, and you will be notified when it has been approved.

Also, please remember that use of College property shall be primarily for educational programs and any use for other than College purposes shall be secondary to this primary purpose. Final approval for use of College facilities can not be granted more than three (3) months in advance or until the class schedule for the academic term has been published.

Failure to notify the facility coordinator of modifications or cancellations at least 72 hours before an event is scheduled will result in the requesting group or individual being held financially liable as if event had been held.
